Quinta do Rol

5 star rating   7 April 2023

MJ who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Quinta do Rol - Exceeded Expectations | The horses are beautiful and lovingly cared for. For the lessons, in my experience, many riding instructors understand very well how horses learn but need to be more attuned to how people learn. I am happy to say that this was not the case at Quinta do Rol. João Gouveia, Miguel Pereira, and Carlos Rosa are kindhearted with excellent people skills with the flexibility to adapt to whoever the student is. From my impressions, João is very personable and patient. Miguel is very detail-oriented and has an exceptionally sophisticated and refined understanding of anatomy and alignment. He goes above and beyond in his teaching. Carlos has a tranquil and gentle instruction style, which I appreciated, and his lessons left me very happy on the last day. They are all absolute gems – genuine articles- anyone would be lucky to learn from them.

Perfect.


How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

Everything was fine. Maybe a credit card payment gateway would be a bit more convenient than the bank transfer.
